The castle wall roared loudly, and a dazzling fireball completely enveloped the entire southern wall of Ninjayama Castle. You don't have to look at it, you also know that it is broken, with a loud bang after the beginning of three explosions in a row, the sound is three points weaker than the first sound, the damage caused is not inferior to the former, the wooden city wall exploded a big gap, sawdust flew sideways, and the ears of more than 30 people such as Matsushima Hengsheng, who planted explosives, seemed to be the sound of dozens of horses' hooves, and they were stunned for a while.

Matsushima Hengsheng smacked his lips and said in shock: "Bastard, it's really powerful enough!" Taking advantage of the chaos of the enemy, we attack and kill! Ignoring the rumbling of his ears, he gave the order with a loud roar.

Matsushima Hengsheng took the sword and stepped over the city wall that was still collapsing, rushed in, roared, stretched and hooked the neck of a guard who was still sluggish, pulled the person to his side, and wiped the knife on the guard's neck, and then let the person go, the guard staggered two steps and knelt on the ground, his hands covered his bloody throat, his mouth gurgled, and he fell headlong under the smoke and dust of the city wall after grunting twice, and there was no movement after a twitch of his hands and feet, and there was no more movement in what he saw.

The commandos who followed were all outlaws who dared to fight and kill, and they immediately woke up under the shock, knowing that now was the best time to attack the city, so they all picked up their weapons and followed Matsushima Hengsheng to rush in, slashing and killing among the guards who were still at a loss.

The army of Ninjayama Castle is relaxed, after all, it has 500 people, even if it is lax, it also knows that it is to defend a few gates, Matsuda Motoyoshi is to garrison the main soldiers near a few key strongholds, as long as the enemy army comes to attack, it can be defended nearby.

For several days, the reinforcements from the Date family had not arrived, and everyone felt a little slack, and Guanshan Castle and Takamatsu Castle ignored Shinoyama Castle, and people's vigilance became even lower. After Matsuda Motoyoshi killed his retainers for no reason, the turmoil in people's hearts made the little vigilance that people still had to be on the team.

Who knows that the Date family has not fought a siege battle since Date Masata, and Matsushima Hengkatsu, who learned Date Masaki Sancheng, gave up the tactics of conventional cage warfare, gathered gunpowder and exploded a dead corner that not many people guarded against, and Oshiyama Castle seemed to collapse in the explosion, and they were all stunned for a while.

In the face of the sudden upheaval, the people present were not prepared at all. The commando team led by Matsushima Hengkatsu killed people when they saw them, several guards on patrol became dead ghosts before they could react, the guards in charge of patrolling the entire Ninjayama Castle lost their lives, the patrol team's Ashigaru General stared blankly at the night with his eyes wide and covered his blood-spurting throat, and there were people standing on the ground trembling all over.

But at this time, Matsushima Hengkatsu had already rushed out towards Honmaru with his blade, and the commandos who followed him also rushed out of the house to meet the Matsuda army in ignorance. After killing dozens of people, no one dared to rush out. Ninja Mountain City was in turmoil, and Ge Lang Hengzhong, who had been waiting for a long time, gave an order to climb up Ninja Mountain Castle to control the gap that was still smoking, and captured and killed the Matsuda army who dared to resist nearby, and shouted the capture policy of the Date family: "Those who surrender will not die!" Those who surrender will not die! ”

It takes a lot of labor to build many projects in China and Bizen, and recruiting local strong men not only consumes the labor force to cultivate the land, but also supplies good wine and food. Disrupt your own heels.

The enemy soldiers captured on the battlefield were not treated in this way, all of them were the best free labor, and the samurai class with families could let the family pay for it, but most of the grassroots Ashigaru suffered hardship, reclaiming wasteland, renovating water conservancy, repairing houses, and contributing to the restoration of the ruined occupied area.

Dead friends do not die poor. If there is one more prisoner, the enemy will have one less strong laborer, and if you want to recruit strong men, you must strictly consume the people's labor, which is also the conventional means of the wealthy families in various places during the Warring States Period, and it cannot be said that the methods of the Date family are cruel.

Compared to those who killed all the men in the city in order to deter the wealthy who insisted on resisting, the guys who sold all the women and children were much more merciful, at least the Date family was quite merciful to the men they captured. Not to mention food and water, but also medicine, and not to buy and sell women and children.

The benevolent Date family also had an unkind side, and the captives ate the least and worst food every day and did the dirtiest and most tiring work, and generally died of exhaustion after less than two or three years.

The location of Ninjayama Castle is important. The defenders also had a lot of troops, but their morale was low, and there was no possibility of blocking the charge of the Date army. When Ge Lang Hengzhong led people to rush into Ninjayama City, the fight in the city finally came to an end. Those who could escape on Matsuda's side fled, and those who couldn't escape were either killed or captured. Although the sun slowly rose and the morning mist was thick, the torch was still lit, and the flickering fire, coupled with the dense morning mist, illuminated this slaughterhouse and the legendary area a little closer.

Dozens of soldiers of the Date Army came out and went back to the various houses with swords, and from time to time there were some clanging weapons clash between the houses, and some decadent captives were carrying the corpses to the central square, and most of them had expressions that were almost numb, and they only knew how to obey the orders of the Date Army, and did not dare to show any dissatisfaction. Occasionally, someone couldn't help but dare to raise their heads, and they were immediately dragged out of the crowd by the Date soldiers behind them and beaten severely.

Despite this, the Date soldiers kept weaving among the captives, occasionally waving their swords in their hands to intimidate the docile captives from moving.

Thankfully, since ancient times, the Japanese have been a group of unruly dead soldiers with swords and guns, and they are extremely obedient and good citizens when they lay down their arms.

In front of Honmaru Square, a huge fire was lit, and more than 100 soldiers of the Date Army were lying on both sides. In front of the corridor, Matsushima Hengsheng, who was walking back and forth, recalled the siege of the city, and couldn't believe that it was so smooth, and he couldn't help but be afraid, mixed with joy and relaxation, and had mixed feelings for a while. The fires were lit one after another, and the generals in the hall and the soldiers in the hall were full of gunsmoke, all smiling and laughing.

No one expected that victory would come so easily, more than 30 commandos rushed all the way, and there was no enemy, and they directly entered Honmaru, knocking the groggy Matsuda Motoyoshi to the ground.

Matsushima Hengsheng saw Ge Lang Hengzhong coming in, said hello, and then asked the people next to him, "Is Matsuda Motohui's younger brother awake?" Bring me up and interrogate me properly? ”

The two soldiers had already dragged Matsuda Motoyoshi out and dragged him in front of Matsushima Hengkatsu. Matsushima Hengsheng leaned over first to carefully distinguish it, nodded slightly, just now when he came in, he didn't take a good look at it and knocked him to the ground, now it seems that it is nothing more than that, dejected, the gorgeous armor he was wearing has long been stripped off, only a short coat remains, the cold wind blows, and he shiveres.

Matsushima Hengsheng sneered, pointed at Matsuda Motoyoshi and said, "This is that Matsuda Motoki's younger brother, what a bad seed, pull it down, give me a good interrogation?" Matsuda Motoyoshi collapsed into a mass of wailing and begging for mercy, but he was escorted down by a fierce god and escorted into a house, only to hear a burst of wailing sounds, and after a while, a confession was delivered.

Matsushima Hengsheng glanced at the confession, the ridicule at the corner of his mouth became even bigger, and the sound of tsk was endless, and he handed the confession to Ge Long Hengzhong, and said with a smile: "I didn't expect that the two brothers Matsuda Yuanhui and Yuanji are really difficult brothers, and there will be infighting in the surrounding city, and I am afraid that I will be scared when I hear the news of our arrival." ”

Ge Long Hengzhong looked at the confession and couldn't help but smile, but he was not as optimistic as Matsushima Hengsheng, and said: "Yajiro, the matter is not over yet, although the first battle killed forty or fifty people and captured more than three hundred people, but there are still more than 100 people who escaped, these people will definitely report the truth of Ninjayama Castle to Matsuda Motohui, and now the top priority is to arrange the city defense." The news of the loss of Ninjayama Castle will soon spread to Torakura Castle and Jinchuan Castle, and we don't have many people to bring with us, and now this castle is still dilapidated, at least fill in the gap that exploded. ”

Hearing Ge Long Hengzhong say this, Matsushima Hengsheng's face also became serious, the battle was over, but the aftermath was more important. The Date army on this expedition had 650 people, and due to the long journey with almost no rest, they attacked Ninjayama Castle overnight, all of them were exhausted, and the defense was more than enough to attack, and if Matsuda Motoki went crazy to attack, I am afraid that he would immediately see the truth and falsehood.

Originally, Matsushima Hengsheng wanted to take advantage of the victory to pursue him, but now it seems that he can only defend, and he is still a little unwilling to say: "Is this really the case?" Now Matsuda Motoki's people are panicked, and there is constant infighting, as long as he rushes over and conquers Jinchuan City, he will definitely be able to defeat Matsuda Motoki. ”

Ge Lang Hengzhong nodded cautiously, and said in a deep voice: "Yajiro, my Date family's army is too small, and the defense of the city is still insufficient, let alone this attack, besides, do you really think that Iga Jiulong of Torakura City will be willing, I'm afraid?" ”

Matsushima Hengsheng nodded slightly and said, "That's right, I finally understand why His Highness disagreed when he wanted to capture Jinchuan City in the last meeting." After speaking, he sighed a little regretfully.

With the fall of Ninjayama Castle, the fleeing Matsuda rout spread the news, and Matsuda Motoki, who was besieging Torakura Castle, panicked and made a stupid move, and led the army to flee back to Kanegawa Castle despite the opposition of his retainers.
